Geraldton Bore to Beadel's Tree.

Unfortunately mum and dad decided that it would be safer to have two nights stay after corrugations instead of before so we went down to the pump, that was set up years ago, to fill up our tank. I was the one who pumped the tank while mum caught the water in jerry cans and dad filled the tank in the car and Jordan sat in the car reading. When we left we drove strait in to corrugations that were so big it was like going on a jet boat over waves. Mum drove the car for a while, HELP, she drove very fast and didn't slow down at all in the puddles but I managed to not think about it by playing DS.

We stopped for morning tea at Mt Everard and climbed. Dad walked around the base while mum, Jordan and I went up the side which was a little cliff about the hight of mum. We found dad at the top who found a path, we put our rocks on another tower at wlked down the path to a creek bed where mum jumped in to look at the cut-ins. Mum and dad went one way around the mountain while Jordan and I went another. Mum and dad beat us back but we walked through a forest of dead trees and creek beds.

On the way to Mt Beadel we saw a herd of cammels and me, Jordan and dad all hopped out of the car to film them. Jordan and I went o and chased them over  ridge. We had lunch at Mt Beadel and we climbed up it and looked at Len Beadel's theodolite. There was another tower of rocks that we added to and I chose the biggest rock but I kept dropping it because it was heavy. I was slowly getting it to the tower when I dropped it and it broke in two, now it was still the biggest but it was liftable.

We drove past Thrytomine Bore where we were planning to stay but it was realy yukky because there were hardly any trees and there was mud everywhere so we drove to Beadel's Tree. I went exploring around while everyone else sat on their little bottoms reading or doing other things that involves nothing. We had a big fire and Jordan went to bed crying because dad yelled at her for being a tad silly.
